Generate short videos with HeyGen Video (References) from a text prompt — async-polled by the orchestrator, dropped into your Tool Runs.
One prompt, one shot, one watch-worthy clip.
HeyGen Video builds a new 5 to 15 second scene with sound that keeps the products, people or places from your reference images, videos or audio. This page pins the picker to HeyGen Video (References) so you stop A/B-flipping mid-project. Strengths the model is known for include video generation. Write a prompt that names the subject, the camera move, the lighting, and the mood; the orchestrator submits the job, polls until it's ready, and credits your account once on success. Returns drop into your Tool Runs for download or re-render. Pair it with the image-to-video version of HeyGen Video (References) when you want a specific opening frame.
Five steps from text prompt to a watch-worthy clip.
Strengths called out on HeyGen's own model card.
Why people pick this model
HeyGen Video (References) is consistently picked for video generation — it shows up first on HeyGen's own published model card and again in real-world side-by-side tests.
Single-shot storytelling
Use HeyGen Video (References) for one-shot vignettes; multi-shot edits should be assembled in a real NLE.
Reels, TikTok, Shorts
Generate vertical 9:16 directly when the model supports it — no post-crop guesswork.
Concrete use-cases that justify a dedicated landing page.
And why pinning the model matters.
Text-to-video models trade off motion, fidelity, and physics in different ways. HeyGen Video (References) from HeyGen sits in its own pocket of that triangle — strengths called out include video generation. The dedicated landing removes guesswork: every clip is rendered by the same engine with the same defaults, so creative iteration is about the prompt, not the picker. The orchestrator handles async job polling, credit deferral, and result storage transparently — you only see the finished clip.
Small adjustments that meaningfully improve output quality.
HeyGen Video (References) is an AI video generator built by HeyGen. HeyGen Video builds a new 5 to 15 second scene with sound that keeps the products, people or places from your reference images, videos or audio. On Gab AI it's available as a standalone, pinned tool — runs through the same orchestrator, credits, and file pipeline as chat.
HeyGen Video (References) is gated behind Gab AI Plus. Subscribers can run it as much as their plan allows; non-subscribers see the tool and its full landing page but can't run jobs against it until they upgrade.
Credit cost is set on the underlying HeyGen Video (References) model, not on this tool. The form recalculates and displays the exact cost as you change duration and resolution, so you see the bill before you submit — never after.
Duration is controlled by the model's own parameter set. HeyGen Video (References) exposes the durations it actually supports in the form, with credit cost shown per option so you can budget the run.
HeyGen Video (References) does not embed visible watermarks by default in this pipeline. Vendor-side invisible content-credentials may still be present — that's a model behaviour, not a tool one.
Because every model is different and the multi-model picker quietly hides those differences. Pinning HeyGen Video (References) to its own tool gives you predictable cost, consistent style, and a fair lane for comparing one model's output against another's without confusing the cause of the difference.
Yes — every model gets the same kind of landing page. Use the catalog at /tools to browse all model-playground tools, or pick a different one from the related tools section below.
Every run lands in your Tool Runs (under My Library). You can revisit, download, fork, or continue any run in chat for follow-up work.
One model, one form, one good result.
Stop arguing with a model picker mid-project. Pin HeyGen Video (References) as your engine of choice, run the form above, and let the orchestrator handle credits, file storage, and run history exactly the way it does for chat. Everything you generate is yours, saved to your Tool Runs, and ready to fork or continue.
